>Longing for FU money sounds just like "getting a job where I have nothing to do" (maybe, slightly better). The idea of just idling all day, browsing your favorite sites seems so amazing, but when you do get that you realise the fulfilling-work imperative [1].

Or you need better hobbies and job substitutes than "idling all day, browsing your favorite sites"...

How I wish I could spend all day filled with programming and continuing my language learning. Instead I'm doing first year EE at university and it's hard to find time to sit back and not worry that I should be working right now.

Why are you doing EE if you want to program?

I missed the university entry requirements for CS in my mathematics qualification, so I was offered a place at the university to do EE instead, which I accepted.

That's ironic, EE usually has more math requirements than CS.
